Did any team loose less matches than Leicester? No and no team won more. So It’s difficult to agree with the claim that Sheffield, who the Lions beat on numerous occasions including the playoffs were the best team this year. But congratulations to Tigers for finishing top of the league (somehow)

Sad to hear it’s the last one, Doug. Many thanks for all the interesting articles you’ve published, it has been much appreciated.

Wonder what would have been had Berwick started with with seven riders they finished with? Morris on a steal for next year. And a top 3 as good as any.

Thanks, followed your advice and it is a great view if sometimes dusty. Had a great night chatting to some bears fans. From an Oxford point of view a great fight back on Friday and a victory today.

Just been catching up on some of the comments particularly by non Glasgow fans, good to know you were concerned about the Tigers. Thought I'd just say well done to young Max Perry.

And so was the comments made to the club. If only people knew how much the club has done for him throughout the season

26 plus 2 bonus points out of a maximum of 30 from his 10 rides, you have to say Kyle Howarth was the on fire over both legs, without his performance at Armadale it would have been all over after the 1st leg

That’s not true aside from other sports like basketball the country is a far better place than Britain is now, although it still behind financially but maybe that’s the problem, money, interestingly I was just reading about sport in Poland, the article was written last year and it had speedway down as 4th most popular but it was down as motorcycle racing and the most popular pole was Tomasz gollob, no mention of zmarzlik

Hotel, PRL rocks & stadium all walkable in 15 mins, thanks!

Had to watch heat 10 again, couldn't figure out how Fricke passed Laguta, but didn't see Laguta front wheel lift.

Speedway is literally the only thing in the world that Britain is behind Poland in. That should be evidence enough that we’re not running speedway right here. If we were then we’d be calling the shots.

Me too, it was the most memorable testimonial there's probably been I would think, I remember Rick winning it, whether that was the last one to win their own or not I'm sure somebody will correct.

I could see blue flashing lights from bend 2, but when I had got back from toilet that section was empty.

I agree - Oxford favourites especially since we have r/r for Riss

I was there, but I'll admit it; your memory is better than mine. 🤔

I was trying to think the last time that happened... Rick Miller?

Agreed. And a bit of a rarity for a rider to win his own testimonial meeting.

Tough question, but both their post-match/meeting interviews are painful. Martin said the issue was not his tactics, but that the players were anxious. Brown said Palm Toft tried hard on Tuesday night. Both comments indicative of serious brain injuries and/or delusion.

Thought that was quite enjoyable for a testimonial meeting 👍🏻

What a week I've had. At Leicester on Monday. The Lions get my support while I wait for Brandon to reopen. And watching them claw their way back to win by 90-89 was sensational. The tension waiting for heat 15 to start was palpable. The feeling waiting for the rerun to start after the Tigers had made the start first time round was almost unbearable. And for Max to fly off gate 4 to seal the deal was truly memorable (apologies to all my Yorkshire pals). Then to sit down and watch Glasgow Edinburgh on BSN last night was another treat. A hard fought meeting which either side could have won. But to achieve a 10 point swing in 3 heats is hard to argue with. So any lingering doubts that the play offs are a good idea have been banished, from my mind at least. P.S. The delight continues. I saw Dougy win his testimonial tonight and I'm off to Torun on Tuesday to see GB win the SON (I can dream).

Thank you very much for your efforts Doug. They are/were very much appreciated.

We must agree to differ. 🙂
